Bailey will report to Comcast Interactive Media president Amy Banse. At Turner Sports, he was vice president and general manager for a group of Web sites including NASCAR.com, PGATour.com and PGA.com.
“Scott’s strong track record of developing, launching and managing sites will truly be an asset as Comcast.net and CIM continue to grow,” Banse said in a statement.
